May 16, 2022: The earthing system of a premise is a crucial part of the electrical system. It determines the safety of the appliances, tools, machinery, and other electrical items used from voltage surges and lightning strikes.
There are different types of grounding systems. Considering the variety of electrodes used, the most efficient one is Plate Grounding. The experts of Axis India describe how important the use of plate electrodes can be for residential and commercial premises.
The plate earthing system uses a plate electrode embedded underneath the ground. It is almost 30 inches deep and exposed to the soil providing sufficient conductance during voltage surges or lightning strikes. It can also save an electrical system from faulty currents and save the operators' lives.
We can understand the importance of a plate grounding system from the following points.
Higher surface area for better conductance
The surface area of the grounding electrode determines the rate of electricity conducted to the ground. Plate electrodes are ideal for larger premises used for commercial purposes. The usage of higher voltage current to run big machines will need such plate electrodes to avoid mishaps.
Durability
Plate electrodes are highly durable. The designs are tested and certified as per the industry standards.
Handling multiple grounding systems
A Plate Grounding system can easily handle the requirements of more than one building, considering the electrical systems connected to them. The capacity is determined by the machines and appliances being used and the current flowing in the system.
The better the conductance, the higher the safety of the lives of the operators and the machinery. These are the prime reasons why a plate electrode system is preferred and installed for grounding purposes.
